Tidal water

Today we passed into the area of marsh grass and tidal influence. The river got multiples wider and with 10-15 mph head wind it was presenting quite the challenge. We were surprised the difference in time between tide fluctuations at the coast and where we are 20+ miles back. 

We are camped at another landing. Last night's landing with cover was a major game changer given the hours of pounding rain we had last night. There was a weird incident where a man in a big truck drove past at 830. Stopped his car, reversed back toward us, got out walked to the back of his truck, did something with his caged dog (it is a major area for deer hunting with dogs) and then he got back in the truck without saying anything. This put us all in a quandary and a least one of us on edge.

A change in scenery. At this point we could smell the sea. 

This snake came right through camp.

Cooking in the tent, yep the misquitos keep getting more numerous.
